3. I am tired from calling for help;my throat is sore.My eyes are tired from waitingfor God to help me.
4. There are more people who hate me for no reason than hairs on my head;powerful enemies want to destroy me for no reason.They make me pay backwhat I did not steal.
5. God, you know what I have done wrong;I cannot hide my guilt from you.
6. Lord God All-Powerful,do not let those who hope in you be ashamed because of me.God of Israel,do not let your worshipers be disgraced because of me.
7. For you, I carry this shame,and my face is covered with disgrace.
8. I am like a stranger to my closest relativesand a foreigner to my mother’s children.
9. My strong love for your Temple completely controls me.When people insult you, it hurts me.
10. When I cry and fast,they make fun of me.
11. When I wear clothes of sadness,they joke about me.
12. They make fun of me in public places,and the drunkards make up songs about me.
